Probably because I didn't even realize this existed until just now. Same thing with the BioShock movie that I'm sure a lot of you only just now learned about because of this comment. If I knew it even existed or was even being made I'd be totally down to see it even if it's awful. That just sounds like a marketing failure to me.

I did hear that borderlands was being made into a movie but had no idea it was already out. And you are correct this is the first I am hearing about a BioShock movie. Marketing failures indeed.

Directing failure it sounds like too. Who saw the fandom around borderlands and thought that that cast would hype the fans.

I like all the actresses and actors but they just seemed like a poor fit for the story.
